https://youtu.be/0u-qEm2gT3U Rosh Hashana 2022 / רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה 5783 The Jewish New Year 🍏🍯 Rosh Hashana for Hebrew Year 5783 begins at sundown on Sunday, 25 September 2022 and ends at nightfall on Tuesday, 27 September 2022. Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: ראש השנה), (literally “head of the year”), is the Jewish New Year. It is the first of the High Holidays or Yamim Noraim (“Days of Awe”), celebrated ten days before Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashanah is observed on the first two days of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. It is described in the Torah as יום תרועה (Yom Teruah, a day of sounding [the Shofar]). Rosh Hashana I / רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה א׳ Monday, 26 September 2022 / 1 Tishrei 5783 Torah Portion: Genesis 21:1-34; Numbers 29:1-6 1: Genesis 21:1-4 · 4 p’sukim · 2: Genesis 21:5-12 · 8 p’sukim · 3: Genesis 21:13-21 · 9 p’sukim · 4: Genesis 21:22-27 · 6 p’sukim · 5: Genesis 21:28-34 · 7 p’sukim · maf: Numbers 29:1-6 · 6 p’sukim · Haftarah: I Samuel 1:1-2:10 · 38 p’sukim Sarah conceived Isaac on Rosh Hashana and that is one of the reasons this portion is read. In fact, Hannah, too, conceived on Rosh Hashana as well and that is why that Haftarah was selected. Both these women’s prayers for a son were answered due to their merit and thus serve as role models for us to repent. Ishmael was jealous of Isaac and taunted him with dangerous acts. Sara had Abraham send them away so as not to endanger the young Isaac. When their water ran out, an angel showed them a well. It is said that this is because Ishmael repented for his mischievous deeds and was rewarded. Another reason why this is read on Rosh Hashana, that everyone can sincerely repent and be forgiven. Rosh Hashana II / רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה ב׳ Tuesday, 27 September 2022 / 2 Tishrei 5783 Torah Portion: Genesis 22:1-24; Numbers 29:1-6 1: Genesis 22:1-3 · 3 p’sukim · 2: Genesis 22:4-8 · 5 p’sukim · 3: Genesis 22:9-14 · 6 p’sukim · 4: Genesis 22:15-19 · 5 p’sukim · 5: Genesis 22:20-24 · 5 p’sukim · maf: Numbers 29:1-6 · 6 p’sukim · Haftarah: Jeremiah 31:1-19 · 19 p’sukim For the second day Torah reading, we read about the Akeidah. Akeidah means binding. Hashem appears to Abraham and commands him to sacrifice Isaac. Just as he is about to sley him, an angel stays his hand. Abraham then sees a ram caught in the thicket and offers up the ram. Rosh Hashana is described in Torah and Yom T’ruah, the day of hearing the horn. This is to honor that ram and awaken our souls to T’shuva, or return to Hashem’s Teaching. Hence this reading. Rosh Hashaná 2022 / רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה 5783 El año nuevo judío 🍏🍯 Rosh Hashaná para el año hebreo 5783 comienza al atardecer del domingo 25 de septiembre de 2022 y finaliza al anochecer del martes 27 de septiembre de 2022. Rosh Hashaná (hebreo: ראש השנה), (literalmente “cabeza del año”), es el Año Nuevo judío. Es la primera de las Altas Fiestas o Yamim Noraim (“Días de Temor”), celebrada diez días antes de Yom Kippur. Rosh Hashaná se observa en los dos primeros días de Tishrei, el séptimo mes del calendario hebreo. Se describe en la Torá como יום תרועה (Yom Teruah, un día de tocar [el Shofar]). Rosh Hashaná I / רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה א׳ Lunes, 26 Septiembre 2022 / 1 Tishrei 5783 Porción de la Torá: Génesis 21:1-34; Números 29:1-6 1: Génesis 21:1-4 · 4 p'sukim · 2: Génesis 21:5-12 · 8 p'sukim · 3: Génesis 21:13-21 · 9 p'sukim · 4: Génesis 21:22-27 · 6 p'sukim · 5: Génesis 21:28-34 · 7 p'sukim · maf: Números 29:1-6 · 6 p’sukim · Haftará: I Samuel 1:1-2:10 · 38 p'sukim Sara concibió a Isaac en Rosh Hashaná y esa es una de las razones por las que se lee esta porción. De hecho, Ana también concibió en Rosh Hashaná y por eso se seleccionó esa Haftará. Las oraciones de estas dos mujeres por un hijo fueron respondidas debido a su mérito y, por lo tanto, sirven como modelos a seguir para que nos arrepintamos. Ismael estaba celoso de Isaac y se burlaba de él con actos peligrosos. Sara hizo que Abraham los despidiera para no poner en peligro al joven Isaac. Cuando se les acabó el agua, un ángel les mostró un pozo. Se dice que esto se debe a que Ismael se arrepintió de sus malas acciones y fue recompensado. Otra razón por la que esto se lee en Rosh Hashaná es que todos pueden arrepentirse sinceramente y ser perdonados. Rosh Hashaná II / רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה ב׳ Martes, 27 Septiembre 2022 / 2 Tishrei 5783 Porción de la Torá: Génesis 22:1-24; Números 29:1-6 1: Génesis 22:1-3 · 3 p'sukim · 2: Génesis 22:4-8 · 5 p'sukim · 3: Génesis 22:9-14 · 6 p'sukim · 4: Génesis 22:15-19 · 5 p'sukim · 5: Génesis 22:20-24 · 5 p'sukim · maf: Números 29:1-6 · 6 p’sukim · Haftará: Jeremías 31:1-19 · 19 p'sukim Para la lectura de la Torá del segundo día, leemos sobre la Akeidah. Akeidah significa atar. Hashem se le aparece a Abraham y le ordena sacrificar a Isaac. Justo cuando está a punto de matarlo, un ángel detiene su mano. Abraham luego ve un carnero atrapado en la espesura y lo ofrece. Rosh Hashaná se describe en la Torá y Yom T'ruah, el día de escuchar el cuerno. Esto es para honrar a ese carnero y despertar nuestras almas a T'shuvá, o regresar a la Enseñanza de Hashem. De ahí esta lectura.

https://youtu.be/XFTl-Igw-Ws Parashat Vayeilech 5783 / פָּרָשַׁת וַיֵּלֶךְ 1 October 2022 / 6 Tishrei 5783 Parashat Vayeilech is the 52nd weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading. Torah Portion: Deuteronomy 31:1-31:30 Vayeilech (“He Went”) opens as Moses tells the Israelites that he will not lead them into the Land of Israel, and that Joshua will take over. He instructs the Israelites to gather and read Torah publicly every seven years. At God’s command, Moses writes a poem bearing witness to God’s covenant with the Israelites. [1] Triennial year 3 1: 31:1-3 · 3 p’sukim · 2: 31:4-6 · 3 p’sukim · 3: 31:7-9 · 3 p’sukim · 4: 31:10-13 · 4 p’sukim · 5: 31:14-19 · 6 p’sukim · 6: 31:20-24 · 5 p’sukim · 7: 31:25-30 · 6 p’sukim · maf: 31:28-30 · 3 p’sukim · Haftarah*: Hosea 14:2-10; Micah 7:18-20; Joel 2:15-27 · 25 p’sukim *Shabbat Shuva Commentary and Divrei Torah Sefaria OU Torah Jewish Theological Seminary Soncino Chumash: pp. 887 - 891 Triennial Year 3 (Full Kriyah pp. 887 - 891) Artscroll Chumash: pp. 1094 - 1099 Triennial Year 3 (Full Kriyah pp. 1094 - 1099) Etz Chaim Chumash: pp. 1173 - 1179 Triennial Year 3 (Full Kriyah pp. 1173 - 1179) During this last day of Moses’ life, he unselfishly appoints, in full view of Israel, Joshua as his successor. Hashem also publicly acknowledges as well. Moses’ legacy is to warn Israel that they are indeed a stiff-necked people. When they settle in the land and enjoy the prosperity that Hashem has granted them, they will forget from where their prosperity comes. They will start to explore pagan practices. Hashem will then hide from them. Isn’t this true of us? When we are struggling, we do what can to ensure our success, praying to G-d. Yet how soon we forget once we reach this success. We must always remember our covenant with Hashem through the good times and bad, through the struggles and success. Remember that prosperity is fleeting, but Hashem is not! Shabbat Shuva 2022 / שַׁבָּת שׁוּבָה 5783 Shabbat that falls between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Shabbat of Returning) 🕍 Shabbat Shuva for Hebrew Year 5783 begins at sundown on Friday, 30 September 2022 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, 1 October 2022. This corresponds to Parashat Vayeilech. Shabbat Shuvah (“Sabbath [of] Return” שבת שובה) refers to the Shabbat that occurs during the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Only one Shabbat can occur between these dates. This Shabbat is named after the first word of the Haftarah (Hosea 14:2-10) and literally means “Return!” It is perhaps a play on, but not to be confused with, the word Teshuvah (the word for repentance). Parashat Vayeilech 5783 / פָּרָשַׁת וַיֵּלֶךְ 1 octubre 2022 / 6 Tishrei 5783 https://youtu.be/XFTl-Igw-Ws Parashat Vayeilech es la 52ª porción semanal de la Torá en el ciclo judío anual de lectura de la Torá. Porción de la Torá: Deuteronomio 31:1-31:30 Vayeilech ("Se fue") comienza cuando Moisés les dice a los israelitas que no los llevará a la Tierra de Israel y que Josué se hará cargo. Instruye a los israelitas a reunirse y leer la Torá en público cada siete años. Por mandato de Dios, Moisés escribe un poema que da testimonio del pacto de Dios con los israelitas. [1] Trienal año 3 1: 31:1-3 · 3 p'sukim · 2: 31:4-6 · 3 p'sukim · 3: 31:7-9 · 3 p'sukim · 4: 31:10-13 · 4 p'sukim · 5: 31:14-19 · 6 p'sukim · 6: 31:20-24 · 5 p'sukim · 7: 31:25-30 · 6 p'sukim · maf: 31:28-30 · 3 p'sukim · Haftará*: Oseas 14:2-10; Miqueas 7:18-20; Joel 2:15-27 · 25 p'sukim *Shabat Shuva Comentario y Divrei Torah Sefaria OU Torah Seminario Teológico Judío Soncino Chumash: págs. 887 - 891 Año Trienal 3 (Kriyah completo págs. 887 - 891) Artscroll Chumash: págs. 1094 - 1099 Año trienal 3 (Kriyah completa págs. 1094 - 1099) Etz Chaim Chumash: págs. 1173 - 1179 Año trienal 3 (Kriyah completa págs. 1173 - 1179) Durante este último día de la vida de Moisés, nombra desinteresadamente, a la vista de Israel, a Josué como su sucesor. Hashem también lo reconoce públicamente. El legado de Moisés es advertir a Israel que en verdad es un pueblo de dura cerviz. Cuando se asienten en la tierra y disfruten de la prosperidad que Hashem les ha concedido, olvidarán de dónde viene su prosperidad. Comenzarán a explorar prácticas paganas. Entonces Hashem se esconderá de ellos. ¿No es esto cierto de nosotros? Cuando estamos luchando, hacemos lo que podemos para asegurar nuestro éxito, orando a Di-s. Sin embargo, cuán pronto olvidamos una vez que alcanzamos este éxito. Siempre debemos recordar nuestro pacto con Hashem a través de los buenos y malos momentos, a través de las luchas y el éxito. ¡Recuerda que la prosperidad es pasajera, pero Hashem no! Shabat Shuva 2022 / שַׁבָּת שׁוּבָה 5783 Shabat que cae entre Rosh Hashaná y Yom Kippur (Shabat del Regreso) 🕍 Shabat Shuva para el año hebreo 5783 comienza al atardecer del viernes 30 de septiembre de 2022 y finaliza al anochecer del sábado 1 de octubre de 2022. Esto corresponde a Parashat Vayeilech. Shabat Shuvah (“Sábado [del] Retorno” שבת שובה) se refiere al Shabat que ocurre durante los Diez Días de Arrepentimiento entre Rosh Hashaná y Yom Kippur. Solo un Shabat puede ocurrir entre estas fechas. Este Shabat lleva el nombre de la primera palabra de la Haftará (Oseas 14:2-10) y literalmente significa "¡Regresa!" Es quizás un juego, pero no debe confundirse con la palabra Teshuvah (la palabra para arrepentimiento).

https://youtu.be/IWCQhNd8QK4 Parashat Nitzavim 5782 / פָּרָשַׁת נִצָּבִים 24 September 2022 / 28 Elul 5782 Parashat Nitzavim is the 51st weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading. Torah Portion: Deuteronomy 29:9-30:20 In Nitzavim (“Standing”), Moses addresses the Israelites, emphasizing the importance of following God’s covenant and of not worshiping other gods. He describes the process of repentance and returning to God, and stresses that God’s commandments are achievable and “not in the heavens.” [1] Triennial year 3 1: 29:9-11 · 3 p’sukim · 2: 29:12-14 · 3 p’sukim · 3: 29:15-28 · 14 p’sukim · 4: 30:1-6 · 6 p’sukim · 5: 30:7-10 · 4 p’sukim · 6: 30:11-14 · 4 p’sukim · 7: 30:15-20 · 6 p’sukim · maf: 30:15-20 · 6 p’sukim · Haftarah: Isaiah 61:10-63:9 · 23 p’sukim Commentary and Divrei Torah Sefaria OU Torah Jewish Theological Seminary Soncino Chumash: pp. 878 - 883 Triennial Year 3 (Full Kriyah pp. 878 - 883) Artscroll Chumash: pp. 1086 - 1093 Triennial Year 3 (Full Kriyah pp. 1086 - 1093) Etz Chaim Chumash: pp. 1165 - 1172 Triennial Year 3 (Full Kriyah pp. 1165 - 1172) As Moses says that he is standing there before all the Israelites, he repeats the concept of reward and punishment. As we have just finished hearing the Tohahah, Israel is exhorted not to follow other gods, thinking that they won’t be tempted by their immoral attitudes and lifestyle, stemming from pagan worship. No, they need to be resolute in following Torah. This is not only for those who stand there listening to Moshe Rabbeinu. This is also for all of us, standing here now in their future. As Nitzavim is our parashat right before Rosh Hashanah, we are implosed to return to Hashem, and that Hashem considers even the act of T’shuva a mitzvah in its own right. Parashat Nitzavim 5782 / פָּרָשַׁת נִצָּבִים 24 septiembre 2022 / 28 elul 5782 Parashat Nitzavim es la porción semanal número 51 de la Torá en el ciclo judío anual de lectura de la Torá. Porción de la Torá: Deuteronomio 29:9-30:20 En Nitzavim (“De pie”), Moisés se dirige a los israelitas, enfatizando la importancia de seguir el pacto de Dios y de no adorar a otros dioses. Describe el proceso de arrepentimiento y regreso a Dios, y enfatiza que los mandamientos de Dios son alcanzables y “no están en los cielos”. [1] Trienal año 3 1: 29:9-11 · 3 p'sukim · 2: 29:12-14 · 3 p'sukim · 3: 29:15-28 · 14 p'sukim · 4: 30:1-6 · 6 p'sukim · 5: 30:7-10 · 4 p'sukim · 6: 30:11-14 · 4 p'sukim · 7: 30:15-20 · 6 p'sukim · maf: 30:15-20 · 6 p'sukim · Haftará: Isaías 61:10-63:9 · 23 p'sukim Comentario y Divrei Torah Sefaria OU Torah Seminario Teológico Judío Soncino Chumash: págs. 878 - 883 Trienal Año 3 (Kriyah completo págs. 878 - 883) Artscroll Chumash: págs. 1086 - 1093 Año trienal 3 (Kriyah completa págs. 1086 - 1093) Etz Chaim Chumash: págs. 1165 - 1172 Año trienal 3 (Kriyah completa págs. 1165 - 1172) Cuando Moisés dice que está de pie ante todos los israelitas, repite el concepto de recompensa y castigo. Como acabamos de escuchar el Tohahah, se exhorta a Israel a no seguir a otros dioses, pensando que no serán tentados por sus actitudes y estilo de vida inmorales, derivados del culto pagano. No, necesitan estar decididos a seguir la Torá. Esto no es solo para aquellos que se paran allí escuchando a Moshe Rabbeinu. Esto también es para todos nosotros, parados aquí ahora en su futuro. Como Nitzavim es nuestra parashat justo antes de Rosh Hashaná, estamos implosados ​​de regresar a Hashem, y Hashem considera incluso el acto de Teshuvá como una mitzvá por derecho propio.

Rosh Hashanah is observed on the first two days of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. It is described in the Torah as יום תרועה (Yom Teruah, a day of sounding [the Shofar]).

It is a repeat of the text found in Leviticus chapter 26. It starts out with a few verses stating the rewards if the Israelites observe the covenant and do the mitzvot of Torah. The chapter then goes on for fifty-three verses to discuss the consequences, punishments actually, of straying from the covenant. These are not just the opposite of the rewards but spare no verbiage emphasizing very bleak conditions. Isn’t it interesting the number of verses to discuss the punishments vs. the rewards? As it has been stated previously, we Israelites are a “stiff-necked people”. There have been many commentaries that seek to resolve the application of these curses. Have we Jews been enduring this punishment over the last millennia that explain the oppression wreaked upon us? Are there some offences we’ve committed that justify those acts? Perhaps we can use the discussions of such warnings as “The Rebellious Son” as a model. This is a judgment that the sages deem to not be literally but rather serve as a warning. Perhaps this is a similar admonition. Consider that these decrees are also not to be taken literally but rather emphasize the idea that we should remain faithful to our covenant with Hashem and observe the commandments. This is what makes us strong as a people. We don’t win wars by might, nor prosperity by skillful and artful business practices alone, but rather by Hashem’s hand are we a prosperous and successful people. Observing our commandments is what gives us the resolve to be successful in our undertakings and overcome challenges. We are the people of the Book, and the Tohahah reminds us to remain so.

https://youtu.be/m6hK9sLu6dk Parashat Ki Teitzei 5782 / פָּרָשַׁת כִּי־תֵצֵא 10 September 2022 / 14 Elul 5782 Parashat Ki Teitzei is the 49th weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading. Torah Portion: Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19 Ki Teitzei (“When You Go Out”) contains numerous laws, more than appear in any other Torah portion. These include laws about the treatment of a captive woman, returning lost objects, forbidden mixtures, the erection of a rooftop fence, rape, collateral, and workers’ wages.

Most of us can imagine sitting and listening to Moses discuss these laws and wonder if there’s going to be a test and hopefully it will be multiple choice and not fill in the blanks! Seriously, what most of these laws have in common, especially in our triennial reading, is making sure that marginalized people are treated with respect. This seems to be the theme of most of the Torah, if not Deuteronomy and it needs to be emphasized again and again. We have such laws as allowing those in need to feed off gleanings in the field so they can eat. We are told that a creditor can not go into the domain of a debtor’s domain to collect the debt or take a possession as collateral. We are also told that workers are paid immediately so they can provide shelter and food. As these Israelites conquer and settle the Promised Land, by enacting these laws it will become a permanent part of their society and lifestyle. Thus it will become ingrained in there consciousness so they can lead a righteous and moral life and thus be an example of virtuousness to the rest of the world. A medida que estos israelitas conquisten y establezcan la Tierra Prometida, al promulgar estas leyes se convertirá en una parte permanente de su sociedad y estilo de vida. Así se arraigará en su conciencia paParashat Ki Teitzei 5782 10 septiembre 2022 / 14 elul 5782 Parashat Ki Teitzei es la porción semanal número 49 de la Torá en el ciclo judío anual de lectura de la Torá. Porción de la Torá: Deuteronomio 21:10-25:19 Ki Teitzei (“Cuando salgas”) contiene numerosas leyes, más de las que aparecen en cualquier otra porción de la Torá. Estos incluyen leyes sobre el trato de una mujer cautiva, la devolución de objetos perdidos, las mezclas prohibidas, la construcción de una cerca en la azotea, la violación, las garantías y los salarios de los trabajadores.

En serio, lo que la mayoría de estas leyes tienen en común, especialmente en nuestra lectura trienal, es asegurarse de que las personas marginadas sean tratadas con respeto. Este parece ser el tema de la mayor parte de la Torá, si no de Deuteronomio y necesita ser enfatizado una y otra vez. Tenemos leyes tales como permitir que los necesitados se alimenten de lo que espiguen en el campo para que puedan comer. Se nos dice que un acreedor no puede entrar en el dominio del dominio de un deudor para cobrar la deuda o tomar una posesión como garantía. También se nos dice que a los trabajadores se les paga de inmediato para que puedan proporcionar alojamiento y comida. ra que puedan llevar una vida justa y moral y así ser un ejemplo de virtud para el resto del mundo.

In fact, at the beginning of this portion we have the phrase צֶ֥דֶק צֶ֖דֶק תִּרְדֹּ֑ף “Justice, justice shall you pursue”. In Judaism, justice must be fair and balanced. There are very specific universal conditions for finding someone guilty, whether it’s a criminal or civil offense. First, the person must be warned or there must be proof that what they’re doing is against Torah. You see, in Judaism, there is no difference between Torah law and social law as there is in most countries today. Second, there must be two witnesses who see the person commit the offense. The penalty for false testimony? The perjurer will suffer the punishment that they conspired to have the party suffer. Finally, we have a repeat of lex talionis, the law of the tally or retribution. In some parts of the world, “eye for eye, tooth for tooth, life for life” is taken literally. Only for intentional murder does Israel seek equal retribution and for what we today call premeditated or murder in the first degree is the offender put to death; no exceptions. Otherwise, it is monetary compensation that may include additional penalties for punishment and humiliation, for example. The sages have determined that this is the fairest way to mete out justice. To do exactly to the guilty party as they have done to the victim may be in some cases almost impossible to do. How does one, for example, remove the eye of the guilty party who caused another to lose an eye without the possibility of peripheral damage? And then does the person meting out the punishment suffer a punishment for not doing it exactly correct? Justice, justice shall you pursue. Let us all live by these words. Parashat Shoftim 5782 / פָּרָשַׁת שׁוֹפְטִים 3 septiembre 2022 / 7 elul 5782 Parashat Shoftim es la porción semanal número 48 de la Torá en el ciclo judío anual de lectura de la Torá. Porción de la Torá: Deuteronomio 16:18-21:9 Shoftim ("Jueces") analiza las pautas de liderazgo, comenzando con un mandato para nombrar jueces y continuando con los detalles de las leyes de los reyes, sacerdotes y profetas. También describe las leyes relativas a las ciudades de refugio para los asesinos accidentales, los testigos falsos, la guerra y el rito realizado en un caso de asesinato sin resolver. Trienal año 3 1: 19:14-21 · 8 p'sukim · 2: 20:1-4 · 4 p'sukim · 3: 20:5-9 · 5 p'sukim · 4: 20:10-14 · 5 p'sukim · 5: 20:15-20 · 6 p'sukim · 6: 21:1-6 · 6 p'sukim · 7: 21:7-9 · 3 p'sukim · maf: 21:7-9 · 3 p'sukim · Haftará: Isaías 51:12-52:12 · 24 p'sukim Comentario y Divrei Torah: Sefaria OU Torah Seminario Teológico Judío Soncino Chumash: págs. 829 - 835 Año Trienal 3 (Kriyah completo págs. 820 - 835) Artscroll Chumash: págs. 1036 - 1045 Año trienal 3 (Kriyah completa págs. 1024 - 1045) Etz Chaim Chumash: págs. 1099 - 1106 Año trienal 3 (Kriyah completa págs. 1088 - 1106) Aquí tenemos una Parashat dedicada casi exclusivamente a impartir la justicia adecuada. De hecho, al principio de esta porción tenemos la frase צֶ֥דֶק צֶ֖דֶק תִּרְדֹּ֑ף “Justicia, justicia perseguirás”. En el judaísmo, la justicia debe ser justa y equilibrada. Hay condiciones universales muy específicas para encontrar a alguien culpable, ya sea un delito penal o civil. Primero, la persona debe ser advertida o debe haber pruebas de que lo que está haciendo va en contra de la Torá. Verá, en el judaísmo, no hay diferencia entre la ley de la Torá y la ley social como la hay en la mayoría de los países hoy en día. Segundo, debe haber dos testigos que vean a la persona cometer el delito. ¿La sanción por falso testimonio? El perjuro sufrirá el castigo que conspiró para que sufriera el partido. Finalmente, tenemos una repetición de la lex talionis, la ley del cómputo o retribución. En algunas partes del mundo, “ojo por ojo, diente por diente, vida por vida” se toma literalmente. Sólo por el asesinato intencional busca Israel una retribución igual y por lo que hoy llamamos premeditado o asesinato en primer grado, el delincuente es condenado a muerte; sin excepciones. De lo contrario, se trata de una compensación monetaria que puede incluir penas adicionales de castigo y humillación, por ejemplo. Los sabios han determinado que esta es la forma más justa de impartir justicia. Hacer exactamente con el culpable lo que ha hecho con la víctima puede ser en algunos casos casi imposible de hacer. ¿Cómo, por ejemplo, se extrae el ojo del culpable que hizo que otro perdiera un ojo sin posibilidad de daño periférico? ¿Y luego la persona que impone el castigo sufre un castigo por no hacerlo exactamente correctamente? Justicia, justicia perseguirás. Vivamos todos de acuerdo con estas palabras.
